I am interested in travel, bicycling, kayaking, and learning Japanese, so from time to time I will post about these (and other) things here. To help with my Japanese studies, I will try to write in both English and Japanese.
旅行や自転車やカヤックや日本語が好きだ。それでその主題をブログする。 日本語を習うために英語と日本語で書くと努める。 私の日本語が上手じゃない。もしミスをしたらーすみません。

Hi there! I was just checking out some blogs and came across yours. I have a funny "language barrier" story for you. I am an adult literacy tutor. I was tutoring a Japanese woman, who was married to an American man. At the time, their daughter was about 2 yrs old. It was easter time, and I took their daughter a decorated easter egg. The minute she saw it, she said what I thought sounded like tomango. I thought she was saying tomato. Being a tutor, I wanted her to be sure she had the right word. I said, no, egg! She said, no, tamango! After a minute of arguing, Megumi, the mother, said Yoshika was right, she was just saying the Japanese word for egg. How embarrassing!

I don't get into that end of their business much (more focused on helping them export the tubs to the States), but I do know that they source heaters, pumps, and filters from the States already. Seems those used for hot tubs in the States work fine for their soaking tubs.

was bored at work and just 4 kicks though I'd check in and say hi. Emailed you a couple times in the past couple years, but never heard anything back. Hope all is well with you. Big news. I'm a mom now. Telll you more in an actual email if you are interested. What is your current email address?-Megan

I'm glad to find your comment on my page. Sorry, I'm more than a month late. (Can I blame it all on law school?) :)

Very nice and interesting Blog with really great pictures! It's unique how you run the Blog both in English and Japanese. I'm also impressed how outdoorsy you and Silvia are. Hopefully we will get to ride sometime soon.

Peter,I'm trying to send photos to Juve, who was our guide in a recent kayaking trip around Isla de Carmen. Do you have the name of his business in Loreto? Can't locate in my notes. He was great!Thanks, Deborah

Hopefully you come back to check, as the comment didn't include an email address to respond to. I don't know Juve's company name, but I am sure you could get it f you call or email Sea Trek Kayaking (http://www.seatrek.com/), as they work with him a lot.
